Everything looks so good it's basically impossible to choose just one treat. Big fan of the Spam musubi --always grab one. The Dubai chocolate croissants are insanely good, and honestly anything ube they make is a must. The flavors are always on point and everything tastes super fresh. Perfect spot when you're in the mood to treat yourself (or when you fully accept you're leaving with way more than you planned). Easily one of my favorite stops for pastries and snacks.

My favorite was the Ube cheesecake. It was a uniquely different flavor I wasnt expecting. Not too sweet either. The bischoff caramel crepe was not a fan favorite. I dont know what I was expecting but that wasn't it. It was soggy and not pleasing to my palate or my husband's. The strawberry shortcake was okay. I dont eat a lot of strawberry shortcake so I'm not sure what I was expecting. This shortcake seemed like it had more whipped cream than anything and maybe that's how they are supposed to be....but Im not sure. The vanilla bean cheesecake was also very good. I will be going back for another slice. Not too sweet, not dry. Nice and creamy. The service was good.

I made it my mission to find the and send her fresh mooncakes. I was thankful for this establishment, as they had five different flavors of mooncakes. This was the only place I located, close enough to Callahan, that actually sells mooncakes. They are located inside of R & D International Market. The bakery is well stocked with a very off sweet treats or savory baked goods. The staff was pleasant and helpful. They labeled each mooncake so we knew the flavors, as they are indivvidually wrapped. We shipped them overnight to her. We also bought doubles so we could try them.as well. The flavors were black sesame, green tea, pineapple, red bean and lotus. The black sesame and red bean were very dense. The lotus and green tea were a lighter texture with great flavor. Our favorite was the lotus with the red bean in second place. It is a quiet, quaint spot among the food court with a few tables to enjoy your purchase while you are there.

The next morning, we had the sausage and scallion bun at home. I liked it, maybe more than the pork bun, and would get it again, though it had the advantage of being reheated at home in the microwave. My wife liked the dough, the hot dog less so (and I must admit the hot dog in the croissant we had a while ago at Cruffin & Tea was better). I'd get this again, though probably trying the regular hot dog bun instead of the scallion one next time. I'd asked the server if she could reheat our items when I bought them, but she said no, and didn't seem to understand English well. So far, I've preferred the savory things to the sweets here. Each item was $3-3.25, so a better value than the other bakeries I go to. I will return to this place periodically, but I still prefer places like Cruffin & Tea and Le Petit Paris, so I'm giving Mai Xiang Garden Bakery an average rating, 3 stars: pretty good, but not above average for a bakery, other than the good value.

The turkey sandwich was very filling and the toasted bread was perfect. Can't wait to come back and try other food options. Still thinking about that pastry!

While it's located in a fairly industrial part of Jacksonville, once you walk inside, it's like a transformative oasis. Quaint and clean, there is dining inside and well worth it for a true cafe experience. I was there for a Too Good to Go bag and the staff greeted me at the door and gave me a tour of everything they had. Their menu changes often and anything I've tried has always been excellent. We had the Pineapple Upside down cake muffin, the chocolate banana muffin, the apple cinnamon empanada, a beef empanada and I bought a Nutella roll. Everything hit! The chocolate banana bread was impeccable. So moist, so flavorful and balanced. The beef empanada was so flaky and rich. They are just masters of anything dough or bread. This place is a gem, and if you're ever in the area, give them a try. Go as early as possible because many of their delicious goods sell out early.
